GM General Motors Fleet History

These histories are far from complete. They are being assembled from bits of data as I come across them.
Particularly useful, if not always agreeing with each other, are:

• "London Bus File, 1933-39 (S-D)", Ken Glazier, (Capital Transport 2002).
• data from Richard Cains, mainly about origins and disposals
